One
out of 8 children will lose
a parent before the age of 18.
|
|
It's a
startling fact that so many children will lose a parent early in life,
when the need for love, guidance and security is so acute. Many
times,
these children have no outlet for their grief, and do not know
how to
express their feelings. Lory's Place helps them work through
their grief
so they can become capable, healthy and optimistic about the future. |

Helping children with grief is critical to their future success.
Unaddressed grief has been shown to have a negative impact on a child's physical and mental well-being. When children feel understood
and accepted, they are better able to cope with their feelings of grief.
Lory's Place
is Michiana's new grief healing and education center.
It provides peer support group services for
grieving children and their families in Southwest Michigan and Northern
Indiana. The Center is a focal point for raising awareness and
supporting the needs of children who grieve. The Center
also offers an Anticipatory Grief program to assist those experiencing
the anticipated death of a love one due to illness or disease. The
service is free.
Services are free to all who need them. Donations are gratefully
accepted from those who wish to show their appreciation for the work
being done
